Camp Thunderbird · Summer 2026
Four campers headed to Thunderbird in 2026
The RJP Foundation is excited to announce that it has contributed four scholarships to Camp Thunderbird for 2026. Thunderbird was a place Ryan loved—both as a camper and as a counselor.
Ryan established so many great friendships there and found such deep emotional fulfillment. So we are thrilled to contribute, so that other youth can enjoy this same wonderful experience.
He often talked about how he loved being disconnected from day-to-day life—free to simply stay centered and enjoy the moment.
Remembering Ryan at Camp Thunderbird
Ryan's Camp Story
Camp Thunderbird held a special place in Ryan's heart. It was where he discovered his love for the outdoors and learned what it meant to be part of a community.
The counselors, the campfires, the lake, the songs—these experiences shaped Ryan into the kind, adventurous young man his family remembers so fondly.
Now, through the Camp Thunderbird Scholarship, we ensure other children can have these same transformative experiences.
